Madonna and Child

Oil on panel

70 x 56 cm

In frame 106 x 92 cm

The painting on offer, executed in oil on panel and dating to the mid-16th century, depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus on her lap, both looking curiously outwards, while a vast hilly landscape with trees stretches out behind them.

The plastic style, incisive but formally harmonious and well balanced, allows the painting to be placed within the Florentine Renaissance production.

Specifically, the authorship can be attributed to a talented painter whose style reflects the stylistic dictates of Raphael, recognizable here in the gentle, contemplative brushwork, characterized by a soft, diffused light. The vast landscape in the background, well harmonized with the entire composition, is also an example of the ‘dolce stile’ typical of the Urbino master.

Lingering over the details, it is easy to find points of contact with some of Andrea del Sarto's works: his style, distinguished by a remarkable compositional balance and a high degree of formal control, had a great influence on the Florentine painters of the 16th century, combining in an exceptionally harmonious way the pyramidal scheme typical of Raphael's Madonnas with the monumentality of the figures derived from Michelangelo.
